I loved the version 1.06 but the logo in version 1.07 is too colored, IMHO it does not look good on this splash screen, dots should be blue only... The space between the letters of the words "Plasma" and "Next" is too wide compared to the space between the two words. Either the spaces inside the words should be more narrow or the space between the words should be wider (space-blank-space).
But I in my OpenSUSE, is showed not correctly. "K" letter is smaller than others and text below KDE has a font distinct, so the animated circle in "N" is not centered (the text is wider than it should be). I have two monitor (1920x1200 and 1024x1280) and it's showed bad in each one, so I think it's font related. Best regards
Hi! I really like your Ksplash! Great work man. Take a look at my modified version for Chakra Linux: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=164257
Thanks UnderTheGun, your work is great too congratulations, a question like do to package your KDE Splash?
Thanks mate!! :) In the next few days I'll make a package for CCR (the AUR equivalent in Chakra), it will be fully compaibile with arch. ;)
Actually I prefer the Chakra version. If this version removed all the unnecessary marketing ("Best DE ever!") it would be quite nice. And it would be even nicer if the KDE logo were simplified! It is pretty nice though!
Hi molecule-eye, thank you very much for your comments, I'll take into account for future versions.

where can i download 1.0.3 - 22.02.2014? i dont like the addition in 1.0.4 - 28.02.2014..
Hi Llynch Sshampoo, You can download version 10.3 from the next link http://goo.gl/am7vL5 Thank you for using KDE Splash!
I think this would be cool to have on the raspberry pi, more of a "Good Modern" than a "Bad Modern (Known as Metro)" GUI for KDE, in fact, Raspbian uses KDE.
The Image is a bit pixalated, I'm using this together with the KDM theme and I like it a lot. Can you improve it?
Hi!, could you tell me what you are using on your monitor resolution?, I've updated and added a fund called rocks.png, can change it by editing the file main.qml and tell me that this is going to be background. Thank you,
